Musk released a latest test video of a brain-computer interface that shows a 9-year-old macaque named "Pager" using a built-in Neuralink device to control video games with their minds.
Musk said he thinks Neuralink's potential is nearly unlimited, such as telepathically summoning a Self-Driving Tesla, or establishing a data connection between humans and machines, or even learning a language or martial art immediately, as in The Matrix.
It can be seen that Musk has very large expectations for Neuralink, but some experts do not think so.
Recently, Andrew, a neurobiologist at the University of Pittsburgh in the United States, said that the monkey experiment video released by Musk's brain chip company Neurallink is very basic and has been proven 20 years ago.
It is reported that as early as two years ago, a team in China developed a set of UDrone idea drone, only need to wear the external control device to the head, you can achieve the flight of the drone through the mind control, and freely control its up and down left and right direction, the technology is safer and more convenient than the way to implant a chip in the brain.
According to Musk Neuralink's previous vision, if a true human brain-computer interface is realized, it will be necessary to use the help of surgical robots to remove a skull implanted in a chip that is interconnected with the brain and linked to devices such as smartphones through Bluetooth.
Because it involves craniotomy and the placement of foreign bodies in the brain, the Neuralink brain-computer interface project has been questioned by many experts and scholars since its inception.
From a technical point of view, the existing technical means are not enough to discharge the damage of implanted chips to the human body, and this research still has a long way to go.
